16 oz can from a four pack bought at Costco. Aroma has notes of cinnamon, vanilla, grapefruit, bread. Pours murky yellow with a one finger cream white head with great retention. Taste has a moderate pithy bitterness with flavors of cinnamon, vanilla, and citrusy hops. Finishes dry. Creamy mouthfeel.

12 oz can. Aroma has notes of toffee, vanilla, strawberry, earth. Pours opaque caramel brown with an immediately collapsing beige head. Taste is bittersweet and a little tart with flavors of toffee, vanilla, bourbon and strawberry. This is so good.

16 oz can. Aroma is floral, lemony, funky. Pours hazy golden with a one finger bone-white head that falls into a ring and skiff of foam after a minute. Taste is lightly tart, bitter and sweet with floral hop and lightly funky flavors. Mouthfeel is velvety but almost watery. My first impression was that it was a very tame beer, bordering on mediocrity. As it warms up in the glass, its complexities reveal themselves, with the funky Belgian influences and modern hoppping with its accompanying bitterness becoming more prominent. I still think they could have gone more extreme with the souring and the hopping, but they were probably going for something more subtle here, and there’s nothing wrong with that. Sometimes subtlety can be more interesting than a sledgehammer of flavor attacking the palate.

16 oz can. Aroma has notes of coconut, whiskey, wood, vanilla, cocoa. Pours dark brown with a fleeting beige head. Taste is bittersweet with flavors of whiskey barrels. Blueberry is very faint, but maybe it’ll open up after warming up a bit. Really tasty.

16 oz can. Aroma is roasty, chocolate milk, wet stone, dark bread, nutty. Pours dark brown with amber highlights and a long lasting beige head. Taste is mildly sweet backed by moderate hoppy bitterness. Really nice porter. Takes me back to the beers I would drink during the halcyon days of the late ‘90s into the 2000s when craft beer was exciting and at its peak.
